Mechanical toothbrush
A mechanical toothbrush, including a housing portion extending along a longitudinal axis, a bristle shaft assembly including a shaft portion disposed within the housing and extending along the longitudinal axis, and a head portion disposed outside of the housing and having a plurality of bristles extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis around a circumference of the shaft portion, and an electronic controlling mechanism disposed within the housing portion, the electronic controlling mechanism activating the bristle shaft assembly to rotate about the longitudinal axis.
ELECTRICAL TOOTH BRUSH DEVICE HAVING SUCTION AND RELATED KIT AND METHOD
An oral care system comprising: a. an electrical motor b. a base assembly comprising: i. an elongated base-assembly main body defining an elongate axis; and/or ii. a battery or a battery compartment optionally including electrical contacts for a battery, the battery and/or the battery compartment being electrically wired to the electrical motor; and c. a head assembly is disclosed herein. Methods and kits are also disclosed.
ROTATING TOOTHBRUSH
A toothbrush is provided. The toothbrush may include a brush head having a first brush and a second brush. Each of the first brush and second brush may include bristles extending radially from first ends of the first brush and second brush. The first brush and second brush may rotate in opposite directions along rotational axes parallel to a longitudinal axis of the toothbrush to brush away from the gums of a user and assist with implementing a rolling brushing method.

Dental cleaning system and method of using same
A dental cleaning system includes a cylindrical body with a first portion and a second portion. A cleaning portion is positioned within the second portion and includes a cavity to enable the cleaning portion to at least partially enclose a dental implant device. The cylindrical body rotates such that the cleaning portion therein rotates to clean at least a portion of the dental implant device. A projection extends outwardly from a surface of the cleaning portion such that the projection is positioned within the cavity. The projection removes debris from at least a portion of the dental implant device when the cylindrical body rotates. A plurality of cleaning protrusions extend outwardly from a sidewall of the cavity such that the cleaning protrusions at least partially circumscribe the projection. The cleaning protrusions remove the debris from at least a portion of the dental implant device when the cylindrical body rotates.

LOAD SENSING FOR ORAL DEVICES
A toothbrush is disclosed. The toothbrush includes a handle, a brush tip connected to the handle, wherein the brush tip includes a plurality of bristles operably connected thereto, a power source, a direct current motor in selective electrical communication with the power source, wherein the motor includes a drive shaft, a drive assembly connected between the brush tip and the drive shaft, wherein the drive assembly converts rotation of the drive shaft into movement of the plurality of bristles, and a control assembly in electrical communication with the motor and the power source; wherein during operation of the motor, the control assembly monitors a current draw by the motor and adjusts a current applied to the direct current motor based on the current draw.
Connected health care system
A connected health care system is provided with various devices for tracking and monitoring health statistics and behaviors including oral health, fitness, heart health, bone health, salivary diagnostics, diabetes, and further options that will be explored in the subsequent sections. The connected health care system is comprised of various devices, a data transfer medium (i.e. “smartphone”), and the Cloud, which allows for data transfer between multiple platforms and devices. Some devices comprised in the connected health care system include a toothbrush, a connected surface with sensors, a salivary diagnostic system, a breath analysis system, and further devices that will be explored in the subsequent sections. The connected health care system further provides a user identification system utilizing capacitive coupling of the human body between devices.
